When I experience anxiety, I seek to remind myself that it is simply a symptom of a weakened state of faith. When I am suffering from fear, I look to Isaiah 41:10: 'Fear not, for I am with you'—yet again, a symptom of a weakened state of faith.

God left us a guide for all of life's challenges through the scribes and teachings of Christ. That begs the question, which is our spiritual foundation: faith or scripture? The answer is reflected within this daily verse; each reinforces the other.
